ALONE IN IOND0N


Tonight Col. Sims strong company, from
the Brooklyn Park Theatre, will appear at
Portland Theatre, supporting that well
known emotional actress, Cora Tanner, in
the realistic drama "Alone in London" The
piece will be beautifully staged The San
Francisco Examiner says: "The dark r,hases
of life among the poor and vicious in Lon
don have furnished material for many mel
odrama. The latest of the successes in that
line is alone in London" A certain air of
newness is given to the old materials by a
fresh arrangement of them. The dramatic
effects come in at telling moments. and the
characters are well eontrasted and the story
runs smoothly to the inevitable climax, The
scenery is picturesque and the mechanical
novelty in the the third act works most eff
Iecuveiy. MISS Cora Tanner makes a very
attractive heroine in distress. She is pretty
and sympathetic, and sufficiently emotional
She avoids theatricalities and everything She
has to do is done with good taste"

We also quote an article of recent date in
the London Times: '"The popularity gained
by this clever vocalist lin London and the
PROVINCES has been unfailingly sustained
In her singing of David's 'Couplets du Ny

airy between voice and instrument was adj
mirably sustained"
